Alcohol A-Z: H+I

H: Hangover

You would think that with all the benefits and joys of alcohol, there would be no downside. But unfortunately, you would be wrong.

Hangovers are God’s way of punishing you for drinking. No-one knows just why He exacts revenge on people who do something as holy and wonderful as consume alcohol but hey, God moves in mysterious ways.Chances are you won’t get hangovers any time soon. Ask older people what they’re like. Or girls. The fairer sex are more prone to them than we are, it seems.

It’s probably not worth going into hangovers in any detail. They’re not nice.

I: Impotence

Can you believe it? God’s a sadistic fucker, isn’t He? Not only will you eventually get hangovers from drinking, and run the risk of becoming an alcoholic, but you could also become impotent if you drink too much…!
